Work and Energy AP Physics B Name: Per. C. Work, Energy, Power 1. Work and the work-energy theorem a) Students should understand the definition of work, including when it is positive, negative, or zero, so they can: (1) Calculate the work done by a specified constant force on an object that undergoes a specified displacement. (2) Relate the work done by a force to the area under a graph of force as a function of position, and calculate this work in the case where the force is a linear function of position. (4) Use the scalar product operation to calculate the work performed by a specified constant force F on an object that undergoes a displacement in a plane. b) Students should understand and be able to apply the work-energy theorem, so they can: (1) Calculate the change in kinetic energy or speed that results from performing a specified amount of work on an object. (2) Calculate the work performed by the net force, or by each of the forces that make up the net force, on an object that undergoes a specified change in speed or kinetic energy. (3) Apply the theorem to determine the change in an object’s kinetic energy and speed that results from the application of specified forces, or to determine the force that is required in order to bring an object to rest in a specified distance. 2. Forces and potential energy b) Students should understand the concept of potential energy, so they can: (4) Write an expression for the force exerted by an ideal spring and for the potential energy of a stretched or compressed spring. (5) Calculate the potential energy of one or more objects in a uniform gravitational field. 3. Conservation of energy a) Students should understand the concepts of mechanical energy and of total energy, so they can: (2) Describe and identify situations in which mechanical energy is converted to other forms of energy. (3) Analyze situations in which an object’s mechanical energy is changed by friction or by a specified externally applied force. b) Students should understand conservation of energy, so they can: (1) Identify situations in which mechanical energy is or is not conserved. (2) Apply conservation of energy in analyzing the motion of systems of connected objects, such as an Atwood’s machine. (3) Apply conservation of energy in analyzing the motion of objects that move under the influence of springs. 4. Power Students should understand the definition of power, so they can: a) Calculate the power required to maintain the motion of an object with constant acceleration (e.g., to move an object along a level surface, to raise an object at a constant rate, or to overcome friction for an object that is moving at a constant speed). b) Calculate the work performed by a force that supplies constant power, or the average power supplied by a force that performs a specified amount of work.
